Le mot neurodiversity exprime l'idée que les cerveaux humains fonctionnent de façons variées, et que des différences comme l'autisme, le TDAH ou la dyslexie ne sont pas seulement des difficultés : elles s'accompagnent souvent de forces (créativité, concentration intense, pensée originale). L'école et le travail peuvent proposer des aménagements : temps supplémentaire aux examens, consignes écrites, endroits calmes. Expressions : to be diagnosed with, a person who..., people whose brains work differently.
